During the HOT ROD Power Tour’s stop at KICKER, hands-on demos of KICKER’s high-quality audio gear will be given throughout the day’s entirety, with an emphasis on Powersports products that perform in varied mobile environments including hot rods and classic cars.

Among the new products that suit hot-rod enthusiasts is KICKER’s PXi50.2 Amplified Controller for iPod®/iPhone®, which is the perfect solution for users to add tunes to vehicles not previously equipped with a music source, and without jeopardizing the overall look. Also being previewed are the brick-sized PX-Series Amplifiers that can be hidden in previously unusable spaces, making them ideal for hot rods.

In addition to product demos and giveaways, facility tours of the Visitors Center will be ongoing during the day. The KICKER Visitors Center and gift shop, located inside the doors of KICKER Headquarters, features tricked-out demo vehicles and large displays that focus on speaker technology, company history, innovation and product development. Steps away, guests can literally hear and feel the rumble of KICKER’s Wall of Boom. This massive display stands over 14 feet tall and 20 feet wide, showcasing 28 subwoofers and 46 additional speakers, with 18 amplifiers powering it all.
